Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Longkodo just silently stretched out the white silk and slowly approached Li Si'er.

Seeing that Longkodo was so determined, Li Sier no longer pretended to be weak. She angrily scolded: "Longkodo, do you think you are a good person? You are just a good reincarnation. In the end, you are just a coward. You can't even protect the woman you love. Come on!"

Li Si'er's cursing hurt Longkodo's heart. He argued, "I can't do anything about it. The emperor has noticed you, and I can't let him see you! Si'er, I can't take my whole family to die!"

Li Si'er laughed loudly, "Longkodo, why are you afraid that the emperor will see me? Isn't it because my face is 80% similar to that of the Empress Defei in the palace? Does that old man Tong Guowei know that his filial son almost died with his entire clan?"

Longkodo's hands were shaking. He seemed to be comforting Li Si'er, or trying to convince himself, "Si'er, this is the imperial power. How can we have the right to resist? I have to think about the men, women, and children in this mansion!"

Li Si'er just looked at Longkodo with disdain and contempt, and said sarcastically: "Do the men, women, old and young in this mansion know that they value the Third Master and put the lives of the entire family on a woman's bed?"

Longkodo fell silent again and brought the white silk in his hand closer to Li Si'er's neck.

Li Si'er began to beg for mercy again, "Longkodo, Third Master, look at me, I am your most beloved Si'er, right?"

The white silk wrapped around Li Si'er's neck. Li Si'er struggled with her hands full of sharp nails, trying to stop Longkodo from using force, but she only scratched Longkodo's cheek in vain, leaving a deep scratch.

Li Si'er used up his last bit of strength to curse Longkodo, "Longkodo, I curse you, you will not die well, I will be waiting for you down there."

Longkodo just slowly tightened the white silk and watched Li Si'er unable to move anymore, his eyes staring at Longkodo.

Longkodo checked Li Si'er's breath and found that Li Si'er was dead. Longkodo woke up as if from a dream and hugged Li Si'er and started crying, "Si'er, my poor Si'er!"

White cloth was hung in the Tong Mansion, and after who knows how many days of death, little Hesheli finally had her own funeral.

As for Li Si'er? She could be so arrogant during her lifetime, but after her death she was just a concubine. How could she be qualified to have a funeral?

Longkodo mourned his wife's death and cried loudly in front of the spirit tablet of little Hesheli. The wounds on his face had already scabbed over.

People passing by were all sighing, saying that they were misled by the rumors outside. It was obvious that Longkodo was deeply in love with little Hesheli! He was crying so hard that he could hardly get up.

People who knew the inside story could see clearly that Longkodo was just using the funeral of little Hesheli to cry for Li Si'er.

Because of this incident, Longkodo probably left a bad impression on Kangxi. He had already lost Li Si'er and his love, and now he could not lose his career.

Longkodo ignored his inner grief and wrote a sincere letter to Concubine De in the palace.

In the letter, Longkodo said that he was the victim of a conspiracy. Little Hesheli was killed first, and then his concubine, who had no sense of existence at all, was implicated. Now that things had gotten to this point, all the dirty water was thrown on Longkodo.

Longkodo said affectionately that it was because the people behind the scenes did not know the deep friendship between him and Concubine De that they set up such a trap full of loopholes. Concubine De would not be disturbed by the rumors and would definitely help him.

In the letter, Longkodo described in detail the various plots of the evildoers behind the scenes. If Defei had not found out some information in advance because of her concern for Longkodo, she would have believed it.

Not knowing the truth, Concubine De might have thought of helping Longkodo because of their friendship. But after seeing Li Si'er's portrait and understanding what Li Si'er had done with Longkodo's connivance, Concubine De felt a deep disgust and fear for Longkodo.

If no one had helped little Hesheli this time, wouldn't she have to worry about Longkodo for the rest of her life? How could Longkodo be happy with Li Si'er, who was so beautiful?

Putting aside her young girl's first love, when Defei thought back to every detail of her engagement with Longkodo, she felt that she was blind. How could she, a girl from a bondservant family, just happen to meet the third young master of the Tong residence and fall in love with him at first sight?

And the pale blue dress that Defei could never let go of. Longkodo had clearly said that the emperor disliked pale blue the most. In the end, it was all lies, all lies to trick herself into entering the palace to give birth to a child for that bitch Tong Jia.

Moreover, if one day, Kangxi met Li Si'er, everything that Concubine De had worked so hard for would be gone. Kangxi would not let go of anyone who cheated on him, and if so, the Fourteenth Prince would also fall out of favor, and Concubine De's family would never be able to turn things around.

Whenever Defei thought about having to face Kangxi's wrath and become Kangxi's enemy because of Longkodo's misbehavior, she felt scared and her resentment towards Longkodo became stronger.

But now Defei still had to rely on her relationship with Longkodo to help the Fourteenth Prince ascend to the throne. The Tong family's position was too critical, so how could Defei give up the opportunity to win over Tong Jia? So Defei could only pretend that she knew nothing and continue to find ways to speak well of Longkodo to Emperor Kangxi.

But before that, Concubine De had one more thing to do.

Throwing Li Si'er's portrait into the brazier, De Fei told Zhu Xi, "Li Si'er can only be a concubine whose face cannot be seen clearly."

Zhu Xi obeyed the order and left. All people who might expose the similarities between Li Si'er and Defei must be dealt with.

Fortunately, although Li Si'er wanted to go out and show off her power and status, Longkodo was unable to fulfill Li Si'er's wish. Only a few people had seen Li Si'er's face outside, and because of her low status, it was basically impossible for her to see Concubine De.

The only ones left were the servants of the Tong Mansion. All the minions who followed Li Si'er in doing evil and the servants who were forced to submit and become accomplices of the evil, as long as they had seen Li Si'er, Defei did not let them go.

Anyway, the Tong residence is now in a state of disarray because of the funeral of little Hesheli, so isn't it normal for there to be personnel changes?

As for whether some people would say that this was Little Hesheli coming to take the soul and claim the life, what does it have to do with Concubine De? How could she, a woman trapped in the deep palace, control the Tong Mansion?

In this way, the Tong Mansion was busy with the funeral and had to suppress the news of the missing servants. How could they have the energy to track down the mastermind who caused trouble in the Tong Mansion in the first place?

After spreading the news that Tong Mansion was haunted, Yixiu stopped. She didn't do these little tricks to scare Longkodo. She herself didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so how could the adults believe in them? Everything was just a trick to attract Kangxi's attention.
